ABSTRACT
Iodinated thyroglobulin (TG) can reflect the storage of thyroid hormones and iodine in the thyroid, which has an important influence on thyroid function. However, the study on iodinated TG and autoimmune thyroiditis has yet to be further conducted. This paper reviews the formation of iodinated TG, the measuring method of TG, and the molecular mechanism of iodinated TG function, including the relationships between iodinated TG and thyroid peroxidase adjustment, the expression of thyrotropin receptor, thyroid transcription factor 1, paired box gene 8, and iodine and sodium transporter, last but not least, we aim to investigate the immune and autophagy mechanisms of high iodinated TG-induced autoimmune thyroiditis.
